EA confirmed dedicated servers but there won't be server browser (yet). Btw: there is a free for all beta in 5 days.

One last question. Where is the IFF indicator? Last night my wingman died by aehm cough cough friendly fire.

Thx guys. Flew a single mission only today but was able to get 2 kills using Sparrows and 3 kills using Sidewinders. And i made it home! Thx for your tips! Rends

Guys, Got the Vietnam version a couple of days ago and it feels so different then Europe or NA. First i don't know that much about the Vietnam war. Sure i've watched Platoon or Full Metal Jacket in the past. I know what Vietkongs are or Napalm but not much about the history. I'm currently watching a 12 part documentation on YT to learn more about it. But back to SF2. I flew 5 mission and got killed 4 times. I survived one but that was the carrier landing mission without enemy contact. In the first mission flying a Phantom i tried to go infight with a Mig17. Even with afterburner i ran into stall in horizontal turns and it ended beeing shot few minutes later. The Phantom turned like a brick. Learned from the first i tried a more boom and zoom tactic with vertical turns in the second mission. That worked better but all 4 Sidewinders went into Nirvana. Noone tracked a Mig. Got a lucky shot with the cannon but was shot by another moments later. In the third mission i tried to use the Sparrow. In the meantime i found out that the Sidewinders need to be released at a very close range >2 mls. But how do you target and track an enemy with this poor Radar? There is search and boresight radar only but the target aquire function button didn't seem to work . At least not for me. So i couldn't fire up a Sparrow. Not to mention that i was shot down minutes later again. In the fourth mission i tried a bombing mission. Thought it would be easier. But i was wrong. I was able to hit an airfield fuel depot but the damn NVA AA guys shot my bird in pieces. Any help would be usefull :-) Rends Btw Starys green hell looks great. And he is right. It's a damn hell!

Want to get Vietnam in the next days and it should be merged with Europe and NA. I remember someone posted that if you make a merge install i need to backup or rename something or i might loose third party stuff. Guess it's the stuff in the the mod folder. Can anyone tell me exactly what to do? Thx, Rends

I would like to fly the Intruder but couldn't find a flyable version yet. Not at Thirdwire and not at the dl section here. I only found the Superpack with no cockpit and a file in the cockpit section which seems to be a graphic replacement only.

Thx Guys! Seems to work fine. And i'm running Windows 10 now!

Ok, thx for the tip!

Ok, Thx Wrench. I will keep that in mind. Rends

Thx! Great to hear that it can be done. Rends

Hi, I will build a new PC in the next days and wonder if it is possible to move (copy) the game to the new PC without reinstalling all the mods i added in the past? Rends

Ich war im August da. Fand es auch schade, das die Maschinen teilweise Wind und Wetter ausgesetzt sind, was man denen dann auch ansieht. Ärgerlicher fand ich, das etliche NVA Flieger mit Luftwaffe Symbolen daherkamen, die hätte man doch wieder in den Originalzustand versetzen können. Auch das ganze Flak Zeugs das auf dem Weg zur Halle 7 (?) links und rechts der Rollbahn steht, sieht eher aus wie eine Rumpelbude. Dafür waren die Flieger in den Hallen und die Hallen selbst im ordentlichen Zustand. An Duxford kommen die aber trotzdem nicht ran. Da scheint bei den Briten wohl wesentlich mehr Geld vorhanden zu sein.

Just send 10$ via Paypal. Well, i've never noticed the donate button before until someone here told us where to find it. Maybe you should place it at a different more prominent location.

The lighter texture was made by my daughter.

Whow! Can't wait :-)

33Lima, Thx for playing my map! Seems that you enjoyed it somewhat. If i remember right you should set the difficulty slider to 7 or above and there will be more soviet units appear at the final stage of the mission. Not a real counterattack but some more targets. One reason for not creating a counterattack was the limited PC system i used back in time. I still have the original map and mission files so adding a counterattack would be possible but with my limited time at the moment i don't think it will be done anytime soon.

Falls jemand sich für WWII Flieger interessiert, fehlt da natürlich Duxford oben in der Liste: http://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford Ich war 2011 dort, war sehr beeindruckend

cowboy, If you want to use the new west Germany airfields please ask Florian for permission. If you want the new East Germany airfields go ahead and use them.

Nice picture! Well i can't say anything about adding more airfields yet.
